Leading free-to-play specialist extends Tote Ten to Follow partnership with a revitalised game for the Flat racing season

SportCaller, the free-to-play (FTP) sports-game specialist, has progressed its ongoing partnership with the UK Tote Group through the launch of its £100,000+ Tote Ten to Follow for the current Flat season. As British horse racing leads the return of elite sport from a COVID-19-enforced break, this popular game incorporates a host of innovative features aimed at expanding racing’s reach to new audiences.

Having devised the original free-to-play jackpot model with Channel 4 Racing in 2014, SportCaller returned to those racing roots by bringing the timeless Tote Ten to Follow into the digital age over the latest Jumps campaign. The game now renews for the Flat season and SportCaller has updated and enhanced the player experience with a suite of new features that drive reliable engagement via repeat visits throughout the course of the competition.

Tote Ten to Follow asks participants to assemble stables of 10 horses whose collective performance will be aggregated in points from 16^th June (the opening day of Royal Ascot) to 17^th October (Champions Day). Applying feedback from the Jumps season, players now benefit from advanced dual-mode functionality whereby they can choose from either Simple Mode (a straightforward selection of 10 horses) or Pro Mode which seamlessly facilitates a myriad range of permed stables.

Improved gameplay centres around some of the more popular elements of fantasy football (from design-your-own silks to private leagues) which harness both the creative fun and the competitive instincts of casual racing fans and committed bettors alike. These innovations cultivate digital dwell-time and encourage return visits, as players assess their positions and chase a series of mouthwatering paydays throughout a condensed Flat season.

SportCaller’s market-leading FTP platform also showcases a variety of intuitive tools that allow players to monitor where and when each of their selections is entered, alongside a definitive history of race results cataloguing any points accrued for every horse. Helpful filters (e.g. trainer or horse searches), running off industry-leading Racing Post content, also secure quick-fire selection criteria from a deep database.

Minimum prize money of £100,000 is guaranteed for the competition – and, once again, there will be 0% takeout from the prize pool. As a result, unimpaired distribution will follow between four monthly winners (£10,000), with 70% of the remaining pool going to the winner of the overall game, and the other 30% being distributed in tiered fashion between those players placed second to 100th.

Rob Painter, Chief Marketing Officer for the Tote, said: “It’s great to be working with SportCaller again to bring Tote Ten to Follow back for what is set to be a very exciting Flat season. This launch marks another important step in our plans to redevelop the Tote for a contemporary racing audience that demands multi-platform engagement, particularly on mobile where mainstream smartphone-adoption is manifest.

“The historic popularity of Tote Ten to Follow continues undimmed and the SportCaller platform lets us devise and implement new technology that sets the pace in a modern digital age, connecting with all demographics across racing’s loyal fan-base.”

Cillian Barry, SportCaller MD, added: “It’s always a thrill to get back to our formative racing days which have seen us originate racing games like Pick 6 and ITV7. Of course, classics like Tote Ten to Follow never lose their core appeal. Yet, it’s important to innovate and adapt, so your product can stand out and thrive in an increasingly competitive arena.

“It’s great to see the positive reception, as our proprietary platform ramps up engagement across all operator platforms, elevating the player experience on a sport whose powers of retention and customer loyalty are second to none.”

SBC Summit 2025 introduces a Latin America & Brazil track, further aligning its conference strategy with the global nature of the event, which is set to welcome 30,000 attendees from around the world this September.

The track will form part of the Global Markets stage, which was introduced this year alongside the Emerging Markets stage to spotlight some of the industry’s hottest regions as well as those that deserve early attention from industry stakeholders.

The decision to include a dedicated track builds on the remarkable 126% surge in Latin American attendance in 2024, reinforcing the event’s position as the go-to destination for professionals seeking to engage with and understand this rapidly evolving region.

Held on Tuesday, 16 September at Lisbon’s Feira Internacional de Lisboa (FIL), the track will deliver five expert-led sessions exploring some of the region’s most pressing issues, from Brazil’s evolving post-regulation landscape to Peru’s tax reforms and Mexico’s regulatory direction.

Delegates will gain exclusive insights from the industry leaders driving growth across Latin America. These experts will share how they’ve built market presence through strategic local partnerships, culturally relevant marketing, and a clear understanding of regulatory complexity, offering essential knowledge for any company looking to succeed in these high-potential markets.

Rasmus Sojmark, Founder and CEO of SBC, said: “Latin America represents not just one of the most dynamic regions in global gaming, but also one of the most nuanced.

“Our programme gets to the heart of the challenges businesses face in Latin America and Brazil, whether it’s navigating local rules, understanding cultural differences, or keeping pace with shifting tax policies and digital trends. If you want to grow in this region, these sessions offer insights you can’t miss.”

The track will open with the LATAM Leaders: Latin America First – the Home-grown Operators Reinventing the Game, which will unite industry heavyweights Zeno Ossko (CEO, Betwarrior) and Sebastian Salazar (Founder, EstelarBet) as they discuss how regional operators are outmaneuvering international brands by creating locally-tailored innovations that resonate with Latin American audiences.

The Brazil Leaders Panel: The Bubble That Just Won’t Burst – Looking Back at the Launch of Sports Betting will explore Brazil’s post-regulation landscape and why operators must tailor strategies to local contexts. Regional experts Andreas Bardun (CEO, KTO Group), Alex Fonseca (CEO, Superbet Brazil), Almir Silva (CEO – Brazil, BetMGM) and panel moderator Neil Montgomery (Founding Partner, Montgomery Sociedade de Advogados), will discuss how partnerships with local providers and gaming influencers are key to long-term success in Brazil.

The session Peru and the Impact of ISC: All Eyes on the Andes will examine what Peru’s new tax measures will mean for operators in the region. Experts Xabier Maribona (CEO, RETABet Group), Alejandro Rivero (CEO, Estelarbet), Gonzalo Perez (CEO, Apuesta Total), and Gonzalo Rosell (CEO, La Tinka) will tackle the implications of the new Selective Consumption Tax (ISC) and what it could mean for growth, compliance, and the pace of market development.

Another key session centres on the Mexican market. In Mexico: Reaching Market Maturity, or More to Go?, industry leaders George Athanasopoulos (CEO, Novibet), JD Duarte (CEO, Betcris), Ohad Narkis (CEO, PlayUZU), Dr Miguel Angel Ochoa (President, AIEJA), Aviv Sher (CEO, Codere), and Yono Sidi (CEO, Winpot.mx) will examine the country’s stalled regulatory progress and whether an ongoing lack of clarity is creating the conditions for black market activity to thrive.

The track will also feature the panel Casino in Latin America: from Land-Based to Mobile, where regulatory leaders will examine the evolving legislative frameworks driving the region’s digital gaming transition.

Beyond the Latin America and Brazil spotlight on day one, the Global Markets track will also feature in-depth sessions on Western Europe and North America, rounding off this dedicated summit stream.

Complementing this, a separate Emerging Markets stage will focus on key regions including Africa, Eurasia & the Middle East, and Asia, reinforcing SBC’s commitment to providing comprehensive insights into the markets shaping the global gambling landscape.
